olduvai,

Thanks,

Even for 300mm, they'd be a little late to the party as I believe that most of the global consortiums are well down the road to qualifying the tools and the processes with Infineon ( or whatever Siemens - Motorola want to call their 300mm pilot) finished for all practical purposes.

On the other hand, Shrinks seem to have pushed the 300mm conversion out, and I see no evidence that these shrinks are going to stop any time soon.

About a year ago, I think Carl Johnson posted a note saying there was no way in h%ll that 0.18µ would happen before 300mm. But I never did see any reasons why he believed that.

Are you aware of any reasons why Shrinks can't continue to be used to improve productivity on 200mm wafers?

Regards,
Ian.
